First the Birmingham Six and the Guildford Four, now the Leeds Five/Six/Seven. Headline arrests days after bombing, swift trial, years inside and then ten years later much apology and released with mega-payout.

My point being that time and again in the past, after incidents of this nature, arrests have been made to much hullaballoo from an aggrieved public who were demanding retribution. Then a decade later, those convicted are either found innocent, or more accurately, (and I'm being very careful here) 'not guilty' based on errors in the evidence in the earlier trial.

My views on the 'innocence' of the Birmingham Six or the Guildford Four are best not discussed here, but in a general sense, if convictions are overthrown years later because of a miscarriage of justice it is obviously a bad thing that the innocent have been incarcerated. Equally if those convicted are released on a technicality whilst being guilty as sin, that is also a bad thing.

Either way, it's depressing, and made worse by the fact that 'life' only means a dozen years anyway.

Just hope they can produce some decent justification / evidence for this, as elements of the Pakistani / Pakistani-origin community are already getting a proper chip on their shoulder about what they perceive as police harassment etc etc.

Hence while the idea of resident Asian communities containing Islamofascist murderers is scarcely reassuring, there can only be more fallout if the police have acted and there turns out to be little to suggest the communities do.
